Toward the end ofthe third or the be-ginning of the fourthmonth two prolonga-tions arise from the fissure just where it turns to becontinued into the temporal lobe, and these, extendingposteriorly, give rise to the parieto-occipital and calcarinefissures. Like the hippocampal, these fissures produceelevations upon the inner surface of the pallium, thatformed by the parieto-occipital early disappearing, whilethat produced by the calcarine persists to form the calcar( minor) of adult anatomy. The three fissures just described, together with the.

Until the begin-ning of the fifth month they are the only fissures present,but at that time secondary fissures, which, with one excep-tion, are merely furrows of the surface of the pallium,make their appearance and continue to form until birthand possibly later. Before considering these, however,certain changes which occur in the neighborhood of theSylvian fossa may be described. The fossa is at first a triangular depression situatedabove the temporal lobe on the surface of the the fourth month it deepens considerably, so thatits upper and lower margins become m
